The Three Grantaires

A little illustration I drew for my fic Drink to Forget.

I don't really wanna spoil it in regards to why there are three of them but I will say that the protagonist Grantaire is the one on the right, showing off his lovely little sutures. Hopefully for those who haven't read yet maybe this will entice a little I guess.

Juan Luna’s Tampuhan, except it’s Enjolras and Grantaire

—

I’m back on my Filipino Les Amis bullshit. Tampuhan, in English, means “sulking”, and I think it fits Enjolras and Grantaire perfectly.

heavily inspired by a dormont illustration, nothing like 1950s spousal resentment to invoke enjoltaire energy

think i’ve finally figured out a workflow that works for me 🤩🤩

Huevember day 6: Emperor John Gaius

—

The only splash of colour was an enormous portrait of the Emperor as Kindly Master, with an expression of beatific peace.

As seen hanging on the wall of the Eight House’s quarters in Canaan House ✨⚔️💀⚔️✨

A black and white comic page. At the top is a panel of a man watching two people pull up nettles with the words "One day he saw some country people busily engaged in pulling up nettles". Below that is a drawing of two hands holding a dried nettle stalk and the words "he examined the plants, which were uprooted and already dried, and said: 'They are dead. Nevertheless, it would be a good thing to know how to make use of them."

A black and white comic. In the first panel is a steaming bowl in front of a chair on a table with the words "When the nettle is young, the leaf makes an excellent vegetable." In the second panel is a close up drawing of a person's hand making cordage with the words "when it is older, it has filaments and fibres like hemp and flax." In the third panel a woman is holding up a sheet of fabric as if to fold it, with the words "Nettle cloth is as good as linen cloth." In the fourth panel a chicken is pecking at the ground with the words "Chopped up, nettles are good for poultry." At the bottom of the page is a drawing of nettles in a basket and the words "With the exercise of a little care, the nettle could be made useful;"

A black and white comic. In the first panel, a doorway in a brick wall is partially overgrown with nettles and has the words "it is neglected." In the second panel there is a hand with a rash and the words "and it becomes hurtful." At the bottom, from left to right is drawn a scythe, a dead nettle lying on the ground, nettle stumps, and some living nettles, all with the words "It is exterminated"

A black and white drawing of a man in early 19th century clothing, in his shirt sleeve and holding a hat, looking at a nettle plant. Words read "How many men resemble the nettle!"

He added, after a pause: “Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.”

the end of les mis is so fucking good. like, yeah we just turned this whole ending around from a feeling of tragedy and profound loss to one of hope, interconnectedness, and an understanding that the bounds of human love and the innate bonds in the rich tapestry that our lives are woven together into exceed even death. that loss will not stop the future, because the memories of those who dreamed of change will always live on. and this all is achieved in like 20 seconds before credits roll.
